Follow up: Over on http://www.guesswhofans.com/songdiscussions/slb.html , there's some discussion of this song. One poster says the red Chevy belonged to band member Kurt Winter; another says "You all know the story about how it was a song about Kurt moving to a house in the Fort Garry area, right?"
I checked some maps: There's a Bannatyne Ave. in Winnipeg. The Fort Garry campus of the University of Manitoba is also in Winnipeg, about 5 minutes from Chevrier Blvd.
So it looks like the song was about Kurt Winter's move from an apartment on Bannatyne Ave. in Winnipeg, to a house on Chevrier Blvd. elsewhere in the same city.
